    1852: 1 scudo carmine-rose, a superb example with three huge margins and imperceptibly touched at right, used with 50 baj. blue and a horizontal pair of the 5 baj. black on rose 'con interspazio di gruppo', all tied to 1863 eight-times rate cover from Rome to Bordeaux. Manuscript '8' at left equating to the 160 bajocchi postage paid. 'Roma' despatch cds (Jan 14) and framed 'PD' in black on front with Marseille entry marking (Jan 20) in red. Reverse with Bordeaux arrival cds. Some minor imperfections and some edge wear to the envelope but an extraordinary usage of both the 1852 high values on a heavy letter. Cert. Colla (1999). Michel = € 40'000+/Sassone = € 90'000.

    Provenance: Corinphila sale 118 (October 1999), lot 5599.
